I've done so much research on these because it's so loud in this house my 16 month old has been sleeping with one since day one... Anyway, homedics is a good one but the sound randomly gets quiet when it "thinks" you're sleeping, and sometimes that would wake my son up. There's no option to shut it off, I dealt with it for close to a year, and recently just got the "lectro fan" sound machine. It's awesome and I def recommend it. It's around 50 something dollars, it's compact, and the sound is great. There's either "fan" or "white noise" option. Had a timer if you want but also runs constantly if you don't want it to shut off. I've tried many other sound machines and none of them compare to this one, bought a couple that were actually "for babies" and they sucked. Returned 4 before I found the lectro fan.

My son LOVES his sleep sheep!! We've been using it since he was born and he's 18 months now. It is fantastic!! It's super soft and adorable. It can be tied to the corner of the crib so not to pose a hazard for an infant. It has settings of 20 minutes or 45 minutes.

The Munchkin Nursery Projector Sound System, it's $19 on Amazon and we've been using it all along with our 20 month old. Primarily just use the white noise and night light but it has a cute projector and 5 other sounds.

Highly recommend the Dohm sleep mate. It's the best, constant white noise. DD is 4 she turns it on herself! Used since birth because we room shared. We love it! The homedics is good too, we have that at grandparents house so we can use whenever we visit.

It hasn't failed us yet and we still use it on vacation (she's 26 months). I liked because it hooks on anywhere-- bassinet, car seat, etc. We did taper use around 6 months so we didn't have to tiptoe around during nap time. We got her to stay asleep even while we did dishes and emptied the dishwasher while she was napping in her pack n play.

I am SUPER sensitive to noise and have been for decades. I used to sleep with a box fan on high in college to drown out all the noises. I eventually switched to the Homedics Sound Spa. I eventually realized that the sound "loops" or has patterns to the noise that drove me crazy. I finally splurged on the Lectro and LOOOOVE it so much. I was debating between the Lectro and Dohm as both were top-rated. The Lectro is smaller and IMO, capable of louder sound output than the Dohm. I saw a Dohm at BB&B just yesterday and while I didn't mess with it too much, it didn't seem like it made a loud enough noise for my liking. But either the Lectro or Dohm produce a nice, clean and sold white noise, so you can't go wrong with either. We put a Lectro on our baby registry too.
